A 4-jaw lathe chuck for mini metal lathes, designed to deliver rigid, accurate clamping, VEVOR 4-Jaw Lathe Chuck. Hobby machinists gain confidence when turning irregular stock and finishing small parts to a neat standard. Is reversible jaw capability and sub-0.07 mm tolerance the right upgrade for your bench lathe?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Clamping Accuracy: Bearing tolerance ≤0.07 mm with independent 4-jaw adjustment
- • Best for: Hobby machinists and small workshops using mini metal lathes
- • Not ideal for: Large industrial lathes and very heavy workpieces
Cast iron 4-jaw chuck, 125 mm diameter, reversible stepped jaws and T-key operation. Suited for clamping varied shapes on mini metal lathes with fine adjustment capability.
Accurate centring – with independent 4-jaw adjustment
Each jaw adjusts independently so adjustments compensate for irregular stock, delivering a bearing tolerance of ≤0.07 mm. Reversible stepped jaws change position inward or outward to alter effective grip geometry.
Precise centring helps achieve truer runs and finer finishes on turned parts. Irregular or off-centre blanks can be centred reliably for machining operations.
Versatile clamping – thanks to reversible stepped jaw set
Three inward-stepped jaws can be fitted to grip either from the inside or outside, adapting to round, square or oddly shaped workpieces. The stepped profile increases contact options without needing multiple jaw sets.
One jaw configuration handles a broader range of materials, reducing changeover time when working with mixed stock. Swapping between internal and external gripping is quick and practical for workshop tasks.
Durable construction – with cast iron body
The chuck body is made from cast iron and has passed the supplier's quality tests to ensure rigidity under machining loads. Robust construction helps control vibration and maintain alignment during cutting.
Solid build keeps jaws stable under load and supports consistent surface quality over repeated use. Long service life can be expected in a hobby or light commercial setting.
